e AND SOUTH.

CHICAGO. Jan. 4-States Attorney Grinnell
has so far failed TO come to. n conclusion re-
garding the STEPS, If any, which should be
taken TO bring the responsible editors OF the
Arbeiter Zeitung to account for the reyolu-
%tionary and infammatory editorials which It
has been publishing during the past week or
ten days. In his leisure moments he has been
tndustriously studying the statutes to see if
there is any law covering the offeuse, but he
mauifests a profound reticence regarding the
result of his explorations among the law
books. 1t is understood that Mayor Harrison
is both willing and anxious TO repeat the
policy OF last May by c~lapping the conductors
of the sheet into Jail and thus indirectly sup
pressing its publication, but as the subsequent
legal proceedings would OF necessity have 10
be conducted by the states attorn'y, the
mayor has been induced to go slow until Mr..
Grinnell Is sure of his ground.
The particular editorial upon which pro-
ccedings, II any are taken will be based, was
printed on Tuesday last and called upon the
working men to arm themselves with Gattling
guns, rifles, pistols, swords, etc, for the con
fict which is at hand with the standing army.
1t Is a question with more than one well read
member OF the bar whether the general tenor
OF the article does not bring 1t within the
pale Of the United States law, and should the
states attorney find that his hands are tied IN
the matter it is not unlikely that he will bring
1t to the attention Of the United States dis
trict attorney. In any event it is understood
from leading anarchists that the manager OF
the paper will plead the liberty and the license
Of the press in justification OF the publication:
and hence the case Will be one Of importance
and interest to newspaper people Throughout
the country.

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, JAZZ. 4-Chas Sheriff., a
famous lobbyist amt lately a representative
OF the Northern Pacific railroad in this city,
died suddenly this morning of heart disease.
WAsuINGToN, Jan. 5.-Some time last June
Pay Clerk Meyers disappeared from the flag

from Santiago, and the story was published
that he had ~abscondtd with a large amount Of
money belonging q the United States. AID
mira! McCauley at once offered a reward OF
500 for the arrest of Meyers. Nothing was
heard Of Lin, however, ana it was believed
that he had been murdered. Later II was dis
covered that Meyers accounts were all
straight, and that tie money of the United
States was safe, but Movers had borrowed "A
considerable sun frcm men on The ship and

demented in Washington he determined to
come here at once without the Formally Of

American continent With mules and u guide,

Terrific Explosion Of Gas in Ohio,

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan. 6.-At 2 O'Clock
this morning natural gas leaking from astreet
main below the new Andrews block nearly
completed at a cost OF $70,0 900 explode | set
ting 1t on dce and four other business struc-
lures. The First Baptist church and brakes
livery stable were torn TO pieces by the ter
rife shock. Jack Semple, Waterman in the
Andrews block, opened a window 10 secure
ventilation, when instantly an explosion &C.
CURED. Semple ran down stairs With mis-
clothes in flames and rolled in the snow.
Flames BURST from every window Of Andrews
building and in less than five minutes Il o
mammoth structure was a mass of fire, ard
was soon entirely consumed. The first iocr
contained the goods of Mayer Bros, dry
goods, aud Howard Shields meat market.
The Knights OF Pythias occupied the third
floor and the city council the second loc'.
The total loss will be considerably over $780,
600, with $4,000 insurance. Waterman
Semple was badly GGrhed and may
die. A yoath, named Thomas Branagan,
+ missing and is supposed to be in the ruins.
Chief Davis, Of the fire department, ia ser
iously burned. Two lines Of natural gas
mains run past the Andrews building and 1t
is supposed the fluid leaked and was carried
Into the building through a drain trench and
was ignited when SemFle opened the window
and thus created a draft.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.
Occasionally there is a discussion OF
the divorce laws Of the several states.
Judge Bennett calls attention to the
subject in a forcible article in The
Forum for January. He points out
that "A divorce obtained in one state may
not be valid in another. This creates
confusion, annoyance and sometimes
causes injustice. Uniform divorce
laws, rs suggested BY Judge Bennett,
would obviate this, but uniformity
can not be secured until congress en-
acts the law. So long as states make
the law there can be no harmony on
the subject. Under present state regu-
lation what is bigamy in one state is
not in another, and n legal marriage
under the law of IN may not be under
the law of another. Justice to individ-
uals who act in good faith and to the
children under such conditions requires
that there should be n uniform divorce
law. New York does not recognize
divorces granted in California if the
causes are in conflict with the law
Of the former state. A man
who obtained a divorce in the former
state and afterwards became g resident
of New York and remarked there, was
indicted for bigamy, and sentenced to
a term of imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. He was held to be felon, though
he doubtless acted in good faith in the
belief that he was legally divorced.
The lack of uniformity admits Of
gross and outrageous frauds. Secret
divorces are numerous and shysters
reap a rich harvest in many cities by
the nefarious practice of procuring
fraudulent divorces. The newspapers
of Chicago advertise lawyers who pur-
sue this sort of business. In most legal
separations the rights of children arc
to be considered. The law of one state
ought not to be- permitted to make bas-
tards when under the law of another
they are legitimate.
There are some difficulties in the
way of uniformity because under the
doctrine of the rights of the states the
enactment of laws affecting marriage,
divorce, and estates are supposed to
be the function Of the common
wealth. While the constitution makes
provision for the passage and enforce
ment Of laws regulating interstate
commerce and bankruptcy it is silent
IN the question of marriage and di-
vorce, and it is doubtful whether a
divorce law passed by congress would
be declared constitutional.
In some states laws are lax and di-
vorces easily obtained. To these par
ties resort to obtain separation, too Of
ten for the purpose Of securing the
property of the husband Or wife. How
to remedy the evils which Judge Ben
nett points out without infringing on
the rights of the states is a great ques-
ton. Perhaps concerted action be-
tween the states might obyiate to a
great extent the difficulty. If this were
practicable the question might be cas-
lily solved. 1t is perhaps sufficient, for
the present, to call attention to the
growing and as we believe the danger
Gus abuse of the legal opportunities of
married couples to separate
